Ricky Gervais - Ricky Gervais' Artwork Fails To Sell At Charity Auction

The Office star donated the canvas which depicts the New York skyline backed by a flame red sky.

Gervais was among a number of artists who handed over works in a bid to raise money for Maggie's Caring Cancer Centres, but the funnyman's piece failed to attract a single bid when it went under the hammer on Saturday (07Jul12).

Jane Owen, owner of the Inchmore Gallery in Inverness, where the sale was held, writes in a post on the event's Facebook.com page, "Well 5pm has been and gone and unfortunately the Ricky Gervais painting didn't sell, however, hopefully it will go off to another auction, elsewhere, and raise oodles of cash!"
